25-35 hours to complete everything sounds perfect. Sounds like Horizon ZD in that it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

You and the team deserve all the credit. Insomniac has always been great, and this is just another indication of that.
What's the last gen model of open world games, and what's the next gen model? Please do explain.
Tch, BotW may have shown another way to go about the "plain open world" game but it hardly stands as a prime example of how to create a game world with substance. I felt the opposite of substance the more I found in that game.
I think a reviewer said you can fast travel using the subway system but he refused to use it. I wonder how much time that cuts from the main game if you are not swinging everywhere. But that sort of defeats one of the joys of the game.
Arkham City may have some of the best combat ever made. You people trashing it are off your rocker! I'd be shocked and excited if Spider-Man is as good, as I think it can be a great game even if it's combar is t as good.
Average playtester takes around 20 hours or so with the "average" amount It side content on Amazing difficulty (normal)
Trump tower isnt even in the game though is it?
Like legally the recreation of manhatten isnt 1:1
Waypoint
The small moments stick with me, though. Mary Jane doesn't put up with Peter's shit, and instead of crawling back because that's what Spider-Man's girlfriend is supposed to do, she does her own thing—and succeeds. At one point, Peter outright calls someone a facist for being, well, a fascist. J. Jonah Jameson now hosts an Alex Jones-like radio show to spout his conspiracy theories about Spider-Man, and like Jones himself, his fear-mongering is occasionally correct- ish just enough for him to be dangerous. It's a character played for laughs, but one with some notably disturbing real-life overtones. It's all refreshingly pointed, especially in a game that, despite being set in New York, seems to avoid any reference to the pseudo-fascist currently in the White House
A Marvel character who has had several stories rooted in politics, who lives in New York, whose recent run was one of the most polarizing among the "diversity in comics" crew........... but you can't mention politics?
This is like saying "why would you talk about politics in a review of Metal Gear?!"
Waypoint are commenting about content that is in the game...
Also, "this is a Spiderman game" indeed:
I'm with you. I'm glad to see it's an open-world game that's not 50+ hours of bloat...I already play enough of those, haha. 20 to beat with maybe another 10 hours to complete sounds about perfect to me.
Ok, well OpenCritic is down to 87 now.
Not the way I wanted that symmetry to happen, but whatever. Damn monkey paw wishes.
How peculiar!
People are excited about a great game.

Great reviews, around the scores I'd expected. I was already sold, but this just justified my hype.
Congrats to Insomniac, now let's that Sunset Overdrive sequel.

Great scores, looking forward to getting my mitts on it once I have the time. Congrats Insomniac.
It makes a ton of sense in the portion you quoted when you look at Jameson in an Alex Jones position and the person Spidey calls a fascist in the game.
To be fair that was a really old post, he did say 84 in the review prediction thread.
Yeah. If a player rushes main quest like theres no tomorrow, they would get quickly. But whats the point if they dont enjoy the rest of what the game offers?
Really surprised with the 88. That's a fantastic score. Thought it would get an 84.
It's exciting to think how much better the sequel will be, and how seemingly easily Sony has another big IP on their hands this gen that will carry them forward. I am sure lots of hard work went into this, but it just seems like this game had such a short dev cycle and is already destined for big success.

Waypoint needs to look at The Onion's Christopher Robin review....

Some of you people would include this shit even in Nintendogs. Smh
That was last year. I changed it to 84 around e3 I think. After positive impressions. Search my post history
